Comfy and relaxing. A great spot to hang out - especially with dogs. Could walk to the beach along the creek. Torquay is lovely and Ian was very responsive. Only drawback was that the DVD player wasn't connected and we had managed to source and bring a whole lot of movies to watch, knowing that there was no internet. We also thought that there would be firewood but this was remedied by a quick trip to Bunnings. All in all a lovely few days in a beautiful beachy environment.

Perfect!

I had a fantastic stay at Ian’s place in Torquay! The house had a cosy, relaxed vibe, perfect for a beachside getaway. It was well-equipped, clean, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The best part was that it was dog-friendly—my pup loved the space and the nearby walks! Ian was a great host, very welcoming and easy to communicate with. If you’re looking for a laid-back, pet-friendly spot in Torquay, this is definitely a great choice. Thanks, Ian!

OK if you have a dog

This was the only available property over the Xmas period in Torquay, probably for good reason.The accommodation has no wifi, which is the minimum you expect these days but is made worse by having virtually no mobile coverage in the area.The place wasn't exactly clean or presented with any homely touches. Uncleaned ashtrays left in the kitchen, dusty and unvacuumed rooms. There are also what could be considered trip and fall hazards in the bathroom and between the lounge and kitchen.In summary, book as a last resort.

Ok but not great value

Wouldn’t recommend compared to alternatives in Torquay. House is not well maintained, old fibro house which I’d suggest is structurally compromised. Very basic entertainment with limited channels on tv and no wifi. Will look for other alternatives next time. BBQ was good.
